We use Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/T as our standard 15" tyre. Great value for money, available locally and a good street tyre.

For people wanting higher performance and willing to pay the much higher price and accept the reduced tread height (faster wear) then the Avon CR6ZZ are a great choice.

Both of these tyres are fully compliant for street registration.

For the wheels, ultimately you may need to provide copies of the testing paperwork to one of the accepted standards. The engineer may not accept just the standard marking being on the rear of the wheel. Just because the wheel does not have standards mark stamped on it does not mean that it is not compliant. If it has a brand and model/part number on it, this can be matched to testing paperwork.

Some of the accepted standards:

• Wheel Industries Association (Australia) (WIA)
• Standards Association of Australia (SAA);
• Technischer Überwachungsverein (TÜV); and
• Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS).

Also keep in mind that your tyre sizes need to be suitable for your time size. The reference for this is the "Standards Manual – Tyre and Rim Association of Australia". All good tyre shops should have a current copy of this manual.
